My Son Was Born And I Couldn’t Think Of Anything To Say About It
I really like to write for the family web site, but the last week has been a whirlwind of new-baby activity. We’ve done this before, being second-time parents, but it’s still taking a bit of time for everyone to get acclimated to caring for a new life again (or for the first time, in Aiden’s case). Maybe I’ve been too busy to compose anything or possibly too tired to think straight, but it’s been difficult to come up with an adequate description of how I feel right now. So, let’s get analytical.
Gavin James Wilson was born on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008. He was six pounds and fifteen ounces, and twenty and one-quarter inches in length, just a tad smaller than Aiden was. Chrissy and I went to Community Hospital in Munster to try out their new single-occupancy post partum rooms (they didn’t have these last time we were there). We showed up at 5 AM, got into our room by 5:30AM, and then prepped for surgery at 7:30AM. After a short wait, Gavin was born via c-section at 9:09AM.
I accompanied Gavin to the nursery to be weighed and warmed up while Chrissy rested up in the recovery room. Chrissy’s mom was there waiting for us, and she got to watch through the window. I’ve got some video of the nurse checking Gavin out, so I might be able to post that some time. Chrissy spent the next few days in the hospital, and we were able to bring Gavin home for the first time on Friday, July 25th. Which brings us to the present, home again with a new baby in tow.
Thanks to everyone who came to see us at the hospital! We got visits from Chrissy’s parents, her three sisters, Aunt Linda and Uncle Marve, Aunt Paula and Grandpa, and Felice and her mom, Pam. My Dad and Diane stopped by as well, which was a very pleasant surprise. We appreciate being in your thoughts! Keep watching this space, as we’ll be updating with new baby pictures as often as we can.
